Insights

Aviation History

The Sikorsky S-92 is widely used for Search and Rescue (SAR), VIP, and offshore transportation; HM Coastguard is a prominent UK operator.

Fleet Rarity

A standard helicopter type for many government SAR fleets; hundreds produced but specialized operators like HM Coastguard operate a relatively small subfleet.

Record Flights

Frequently used for long-range SAR missions over sea, including some extreme-range rescues in UK waters.

Safety & Events

UK SAR Sikorsky S-92s have been involved in numerous high-profile rescue missions; the global S-92 fleet has a strong safety record but isolated incidents have occurred.

Future Outlook

Still in regular SAR service as of 2024.
